Outskirts

" Outskirts "

by Suzán Jiván

for Stanislaus Dubowski

Rather than laughably hip or camp
still moving in the nude without a clue
on the outskirts of inexplicably
widespread fashion contrasting
the explicit uncovering of a couturier's
stomping bravado and derring-do.

Uppity Awakening

" Uppity Awakening "

by Suzán Jiván

for Stanislaus Dubowski

An impromptu uppity awakening
with the impetus and strength
to willingly subject an original
manuscript to inevitable
multiple rejections interjected
with protective ejections
of analgesic clouds of ink.

Someday

" Someday "

by Suzán Jiván

for Stanislaus Dubowski

Redolent of damp pine
sublimely fragrant
even at arm's length
along with the fermenting
grains of distant days
aromatically brewed
into a savorous someday.

Bridal Path

" Bridal Path "

by Suzán Jiván

for Stanislaus Dubowski

The soul survivor of unbridaled
equine kicks rearing up
with strapping illnesses
snaffled with cheekstraps
and throatlatches dispatched
with hatchet-shaped blinkers
and teardrop-masking winkers
loping along veiled bridal paths
hobbled by the brambles of the past.

Jarring

" Jarring "

by Suzán Jiván

for Stanislaus Dubowski

Seen sipping, gulping and pouring
various jarring forms of froth
from upstart start-ups
vying for modest plucks
from the production
of all-of-a-sudden yucks
seemingly tongue-in-cheek.

Tapping

" Tapping "

by Suzán Jiván

for Stanislaus Dubowski

Intending to foment
perpetual questions
of "But?" and " What if?"
making beings rethink
the leaps and bounds
of perception
and detection
while scratching
out an inner answer
by masterfully tapping
gritty granules
of abrasive
strands of sand.

Splattered

" Splattered "

by Suzán Jiván

for Stanislaus Dubowski

Not nearly regarded
as art along blocks
of innocuos objects
spotted on either side
of nothing to see
chided beneath
splattered high ceilings
described in the hyping
of a chapel-like afterlife.

Bigger-Than-Life-Still Life

" Bigger-Than-Life Still Life "

by Suzán Jiván

for Stanislaus Dubowski

Something of a rarity
having long been coveted
by the elemental complexity
of the inevitability of moribundity
for the bigger-than-life still life
composed in the mourning light
of the artist's wife with revived delight.

Dazzling

" Dazzling "

by Suzán Jiván

for Stanislaus Dubowski

Coming out of bereavement
unexpectedly frenzied
with pungently clustering
chords of riotous love
not worrying much
or letting up
on the harmony
from much later
dazzling octaves.

Nostalgic Path

" Nostalgic Path "

by Suzán Jiván

for Stanislaus Dubowski

Sharply written and dementedly
articulate commencing
with the admitted slip-up
of offering to walk
an ungainly gaff
back across a sappy
nostalgic path.

Throwback

" Throwback "

by Suzán Jiván

for Stanislaus Dubowski

In a throwback
to the good old days
celebrating the swooning love
of a pallid stranger
neither obvious nor opaque
winging it in front
of a stoppage of rockets
hurtling toward
an unforeseeably long blank stage.

Bold Patterns

" Bold Patterns "

by Suzán Jiván

for Stanislaus Dubowski

Filled in with bold patterns
of stippling and patchwork
pitching similar strips
picturing bearded beatniks
as pen and inked unlikely extremists
moonfaced and easily amused
by intergalactic hilarity.

Perturbation

" Perturbation "

by Suzán Jiván

for Stanislaus Dubowski

Slipping away in recent days
from a timetable with perturbation
benefitting and strengthening
misshapen legislation
dictating mandates of madness
in stints with short shrifts
spawning incorrigible laws.

Wednesday, July 22, 2009

Heeding

" Heeding "

by Suzán Jiván

for Stanislaus Dubowski

Heeding protocols
starting with marching
to underlying decline
with masked crime fighters
while simultaneously
applying glamorized
contrivances by rewinding
non-fiction writing
like cock-eyed magpies.

Unstageable

" Unstageable "

by Suzán Jiván

for Stanislaus Dubowski

Often invisibly still slipping
easily and inevitably
on the cheap in free-for-alls
called unstageable
because of remorseless
installments of uncalled-for
costive assaults
on healthcare reform
with innumerable scrapes
from machinations
whiffed backstage.

Missing

" Missing "

by Suzán Jiván

for Stanislaus Dubowski

Missing its spots
least pockmarked
sunspot splotches
addressing the oddness
of not bothering to mark
provocative accomplishments
with colorfully-potted
blossoms of acknowledgement.

Captured

" Captured "

by Suzán Jiván

for Stanislaus Dubowski

Captured muzzle flashes
later recanted in oldies acts
of must-read calamities
buoyed by the tightness
of worst-case faces
offering lurid explications
in riveting readings
by handfuls of seat-
of-their pants people.

Diagramed Deal

" Diagramed Deal "

by Suzán Jiván

for Stanislaus Dubowski

Anxious strangers
with their résumés
meeting in the wee
hours of each
darkening eve
fast becoming
the doubleton
club queen
of a diagramed deal
resulting in a ruff-and-sluff.

Immortal

" Immortal "

by Suzán Jiván

for Stanislaus Dubowski

At first glance
hurtling back
into an anthem
of exacting gimmickry
taking a dip in the moonlit
bobbing commonplace
of a rented lot
while getting the nod
of a haughty immortal.

Sunday, July 19, 2009

Leaning

" Leaning "

by Suzán Jiván

for Stanislaus Dubowski

Leaning like commodities
printed with motifs
of disconnected dots
spotted in autobiographies
discreetly seen beneath
single sheets of ideas
left mostly bare
on paint cans
and floor plans.

The Nth Degree

" The Nth Degree "

by Suzán Jiván

for Stanislaus Dubowski

Measured levels of cleverness
initially overwhelmed by references
to solo careers in the Nth degree
engrossingly ringing hollow
in self-conscious ensembles
of domesticity with pinpricks.

Dreams

" Dreams "

by Suzán Jiván

for Stanislaus Dubowski

Spunky instinct
and salvaged femininity
with the structured beauty
of altered egos for dieties
and devotees of fevered
silk-screened dreams.

Button-Down

" Button-Down "

by Suzán Jiván

for Stanislaus Dubowski

In button-down
attempts to pin down
astral sounds
of paranoia avoiding
new-wave cyborgs
poised to force
inevitability toward
widescreen would-bes.

Friday, July 17, 2009

Changed-Up

" Changed-Up "

by Suzán Jiván

for Stanislaus Dubowski

Richness of feeling
nuanced funk
never too much
from a chicken-
scratched middle
act with the wah-wah
pedal heard
in your head
as " wicka-wicka
in a changed-
up rhythm.

Out of Reach

" Out of Reach "

by Suzán Jiván

for Stanislaus Dubowski

Oddly static
worn flat
chart toppers
with the slinky beats
of a final scene
remaining
frustratingly
out of reach.

A Wink and a Nudge

" A Wink and a Nudge "

by Suzán Jiván

for Stanislaus Dubowski

With a wink and a nudge
from a whodunit
with the text-heavy
no-nonsense tongue
of a masterly pastiche
gleaning striking scenes
glinting promisingly
after repeatedly being
poked, prodded and parodied.

Open Spaces

" Open Spaces "

by Suzán Jiván

for Stanislaus Dubowski

Conflicting sensations
anxiously intoxicating
and famously associated
with self-contained anticipation
of solely-animated vast open spaces.

Sighting Lines

" Sighting Lines "

by Suzán Jiván

for Stanislaus Dubowski

Sighting lines drawn in the course
sand of disparaging chatter
and gruff manners of ominous tales
shorn from burnished bed rails.

Touchingly

" Touchingly "

by Suzán Jiván

for Stanislaus Dubowski

Touchingly obvious, distinctly ungrand
crammed with odds and ends
from dearly-departed friends
exhibiting economic want
in an ever-more-crowded frugality
scoured by scattering fragments.

Aiming

" Aiming "

by Suzán Jiván

for Stanislaus Dubowski

Sunshine mixing
with a few
puffy clouds
streaking
toward a bright light
with a hybrid
nature while racing
into space aiming
for a Sea of Tranquility
located on a cratered face.

Enclave

" Enclave "

by Suzán Jiván

for Stanislaus Dubowski

At the hearing an overseer made clear
the willingness to tilt personal feelings
into sweeping shots from helicopters
in a novel temporarily-created
space within a space serving as a safe
shape-shifting listeners' enclave.

Dropping Hints

stylistically
dizzying
rightly-
liked
longtime
triumphal
thriving
comfily
aligned.

A New Push

" A New Push "

by Suzán Jiván

for Stanislaus Dubowski

A new push
a long march
top secret
under siege
ramped up
eavesdropping
in highly-
classified
undisclosed
surveillance
hit far harder
by largely-
discarded
and disavowed
firm counsel.

bringing it in jury rigged
with an utter lack of inhibition.

Navigating

when a one-eyed aviator
took off and landed on an airfield
lined with waiting planes.

Hindsight

" Hindsight "

by Suzán Jiván

Far from idle
in hindsight
virtually occupied
by prior lives
caught in the sites
of subway
and bus lines.

Elusive

" Elusive "

by Suzán Jiván

for Stanislaus Dubowski

Elusive moods
of soft-faced youths
given vague
names in the day
of quickly-produced
painting booms
as shoulders droop
into superficial bits
of instinctual intervals
still trying to sniff.

At Once

" At Once "

by Suzán Jiván

for Stanislaus Dubowski

At once bucolic
over the rooftops
quickly soothed
between brains and beauty
savoring whispers in the dark
along with the pillowy richness
of welcoming intimacy.

Prevailing

" Prevailing "

by Suzán Jiván

for Stanislaus Dubowski

Slowly revolving
twirling with arms
over patchy grass
for electronica fans
through treetops flared
not long after harrassment
by prevailing laughter
cut off long before
moving out of doors.

Long Awaited

" Long Awaited "

by Suzán Jiván

for Stanislaus Dubowski

Long-awaited
out-of-the-way
worse than passé
wave after wave
fabric of everyday
mismatched mundane
vanishing strain
of an all-day
steeply-raked
greater range
of estranged rage.

Thursday, July 9, 2009

Dash

" Dash "

by Suzán Jiván

Dramatically static
extremely rare
combative clamor
from a pummeled snare
in a hyper declarative
paired-off dash.

Rampaging

" Rampaging "

by Suzán Jiván

for Stanislaus Dubowski

Heeding the call
rampaging through
ruminative rumors
with a buoyant new fusion
of exhuberant muses.

A Lullaby

" A Lullaby "

by Suzán Jiván

Late-night
improvising
of a lullaby
with the instincts
of a vintage singer
plus scintillating
signatures
of well-wishers
determined
to continue
in spinoffs.

Ante Up

" Ante Up "

by Suzán Jiván

for Stanislaus Dubowski

Expected to ante up
a stylishly preshrunk
unprecedented sum
marked by troubles
but squirreled away
while remaining top-rated.

Tuesday, July 7, 2009

Banished

" Banished "

by Suzán Jiván

for Stanislaus Dubowski

Banished to the past
with the understanding
that demolition
would be bitterly shaped
by far-flung gentility
and fragmentations
from dissonant stabbings
of savage attacks
with saccharine banter.

Not Taken

" Not Taken "

by Suzán Jivân

for Stanislaus Dubowski

To complement the permanent
by overstepping the ultimate
far-reaching ideals
of a loose-knit group
living in rural decrepit states
proclaiming greater syncopation
and avoidance of malaise
along a path not taken.

Conjuring

May be hinting
pensively at first
then friskily
kicking with vigor
at the flicker
of conjured images
with acoustical lilt.

Overall

with a reedy scratchy past
underscoring grandeur
yet still lashing out
with the rediscovered growl
of an overall sound.

Pieced Together

" Pieced Together "

by Suzán Jiván

for Stanislaus Dubowski

Pieced together
from official oblivion
pointing out secrecy
and a lack of accountability
fumbling around north and south
where stillness equals sickness
and locomotion means release.

Sunday, July 5, 2009

Gravity Driven

" Gravity Driven "

by Suzán Jiván

for Stanislaus Dubowski

Increasingly irrelevant
visual prejudice
protectively projecting
dizzying grids
onto gravity-driven
elliptical images.
